TIE Flood.

Nobody would have expected to see
flood in Hawthorne. but the melt
ing snow sent a stream down the roa d
which alarmed the owners of several,
supposed TO be, water proc f cellars.
A pond was formed at the Southern
Hotel and some of the grown up boys,
remembering the joys Of early days
were contemplating building raft,
when ruthless property owners dug a
ditch and carried the water away to
places where it could not be. used for
navigation. The unexpected is what
happens. Recently we have had what
was not considered a portion Of the list
Of possibilities. Sleighing, was the
first surprise and closely following
came the opportunity for wading in
puddles. The youngsters, white and
Indians, enjoyed the unusual condition
OF the streets and had fine time. To
people on business intent, the freshet
was not SO pleasant, but while splash.
ing through the thin sheet Of water,
our citizens comtortyd themselves
with reflections on the condition of
other places where the mud Is now
knee deep, and rising. Our ground
gets wet sometimes, But 1t never will
rise to the dignity of mud. Instead of
making bad roads, the water packs the
sand and improves them, and we will
never have to growl about muddy
streets, as e the case with nearly All
our neighbors.

Nickel.

Competent judges pronounce the
Cobalt and nickel mines, Of Churchill
county, the best in tie world. Nickel
e a metal which is entering all
branches of metal manufacture, ana its
use Is spreading rapidly. This general
use renders it d very valuable irietal
and nickel mine which yields a fair
Quantity of ore is good property,
readily saleable. Tie supply is still
SO small, as compared with the increas-
ing demand, that owners OF nickel are
not liable to suffer from a depression
in prices, owing to an over.stocked
market, as are the owners of lead, cop
per and silver. Heretofore there have
been no noteworthy discoveries of
nickel in this county, but it may be
that in the eagerness Of search for
gold and silver, nickel lodges have
been abandoned as worthless after a
simple gold and silver assay showed
but a small quantity of either, or both,
of the precious metals. 1t might pay
our prospectors to give some attention
to the character and appearance of
nickel bearing ores, as there Is no
reason why this county, with its
wonderful variety of mineral wealthl
does not contain one or more nickel
mines. The owner of a good nickel
claim has almost mine of ready
money, as purchasers will never talk
low figures and delay on account of
the condition OF the market. The
market for nickel will be a rising
market for some years.
